Sophia McMahon

Violin Music Teacher

About

I am a dedicated and passionate violin teacher and musician and teach students of all levels and ages.
I specialise in providing sound technical skills and overall musicianship.
The importance of learning and mastering correct technique is focused upon early, and regularly developed with time, to ensure the most effective methods are adopted to aid skilful, musical playing.
I encourage my students to sit for AMEB exams (if they wish), as this gives the student focus and something to aspire to, as well as instilling more confidence in their ability to perform in front of others.
I completed my formal training at the Conservatoriam of Music (Melbourne University) and have previously worked at various schools including Penleigh and Essendon Grammar; Eltham College; Kew High School and Genazzano FCJ College.
I have many years of private teaching experience and have previously performed overseas and interstate. I am a fully accredited member of the Victorian Music Teachers' Association.
